    PvP in ESO is IMO pointless - there is nothing to loose, enemies do not stay dead and are back (up) again quickly - think of it, would you want to PvP, if you could loose all your gear if you die?- THAT would be PvP, but how ESO does it ... nah.

    I'd love some new pvp zones but it needs to instanced with low population caps like 10v10v10.

    In IC, you lose half your telvar for dying, to other players, or to npc. Wanna try that boss? Sure, but at the risk of losing your stones. Think you can gank that player over there, but he turns the tables and kills you instead? You just gave him half your hard earned stones. So, there is that risk/reward gameplay out there.
    But no..if I spent hours farming my gear, then more hours grinding out gold to upgrade my gear, just to lose it for dying in PvP, I'd never set foot in the place. Who would? That's not hardcore..that's madness.
    Since you mention no penalty for dying, what about a rez timer after you die. Not rez'ed for 45 seconds after a kill, you can't rez for two minutes? Like the penalty box in hockey. But taking someone's gear..no, just no. You'd kill PvP altogether with a system like that..

    Instead just have more frequent events like Midyear Mayhem in Cyro, so there will be more players there to have fun with.

    I had to find out what "PK" meant. :|
    I don't care one way or the other, since I have no interest in doing PvP outside of Cyrodiil, but other people might love it.

    I think you should be able to get a contract from a NPC quest giver that lets you hunt down players who are criminals.

    You would accept the quest, go find your target and have to kill them!

    BOUNTY HUNTIN! But there are too many cry babys that throw a temper tantrum if another player gets to touch their character so it will never happen, was the single funnest aspect to Star Wars Galaxies.

    This was what I’ve wanted vampires and werewolves to be since beta. Essentially a PvP flag that trades off the increased power level with being hunted down all the time. With the bounty system, it could really be an interesting gameplay mechanic.

    Those "skilled" eso players that 1vX with noobs will never be able to handle open world PvP.

    Those anti social PvE snowflakes will never agree to something that will please you, even if you offer a separete parralel channel for noPK.

    I wouldn't be against a new cyrodil. It stands to reason that other zones could be in a state of war. It would allow the devs to build a cyrodil that doesn't suck/get people excited about PvP again.

    I prefer to quest and explore in peace.

    People need to be honest about this. They only want open world PvP so they can prey on questers and low levels permanently for easy kills and a thoroughly stroked Ego.

    I know it's not a peacful zone.But it's how the world work. We need variation.***'s only 1 zone include in 1 DLC, if you dont like you dont buy that DLC. It's not Cyrodil, bcoz there you can kill any1 you dont like even same alliance. Some kind of Outlaw zone. Pver will not come there if they dont want, the other zone they still do quest in peace. PVER have whole Tamriel, Pvper we only have cyrodil, and we only require for 1 more zone

    What a thought-terminating cliché. Especially if we discuss an opt-in experience.

    So it would be like Cyrodiil? You can quest and kill anyone there (Albeit not people from your faction, but that iz an eh, really).

    Just stick to Cyrodiil and the Imperial City, will you?

    And yet PvE gets a new zone every 12 weeks, where you can quest and kill npc's with never changing scripted behaviours.

    Yep. Not that I don't want them pushing out new PvE content but his argument was a bit lackluster.

    Adding more PvP areas/types just waters down the target numbers, if anything the area should shrink so that you have more to bash your head against :)

    Really they need to sort out the issues with Cyrodill and get the numbers per campaign up

    well..

    I would support that idea only if players can opt out being involved in PVP, and if it doesn't split the community.

    Barring those two point, it's a bad idea.
